Abstract:CVD-processed ultrafine mullite powder (<0.1m) micrometer size Si3N4-whisker or mullite-whisker were dispersed in H2-C2H5OH-C3H83 with a low sur face tension at pH 4.0 to prevent cracking during drying of wet green compacts consolidated by filtra tion. The rheological behavior of suspensions, consoli dation process of the solids by filtration, and the pore structures of green compacts were studied to under stand the formation of crack-free dense powder com pacts with uniformly dispersed whiskers in the nanom e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
